Melville Island South Ice Cap Mass Balance & Snow Pollution
Principal Investigator: Burgess, David O
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: By measuring the changing volume of the ice cap and maintaining an Automatic weather station the research team is able to tell how much the climate is changing. The snow sampling tells how clean the snow and thus the air above it and whether it is changing. While at the Melville ice cap, the team lives in a small hut by the side of the ice cap constructed last year. There is an automatic weathe...

Mass Balance of Arctic Glaciers and Arctic Pollution
Principal Investigator: Koerner, Roy M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: The objectives of this ongoing research project are: (a) to monitor climate change by measuring the changing volume of the ice cap and maintaining an automatic weather station, and (b) to monitor air and snow pollution by sampling snow and sending it to be analyzed. Based out of the Polar Continental Shelf Project in Resolute Bay, NU, two personnel will fly by Twin Otter to the ice cap, and liv...

The Historical Record of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Trace Metals in Glacial Snow and Ice
Principal Investigator: Gregor, Dennis J.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: Ice caps have been used to measure changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere over long periods of time. The studies have addressed climate change, levels of pollutants resulting from human activities, and levels of materials put into the atmosphere by natural processes (e.g., volcano eruptions). This on-going study has been examining the levels of contaminants in ice caps since 1986 by collecti...

Mesoscale Climates and Paleoclimates of the Baffin Island Region
Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The Researchers will set up an automatic climate station on Penny Ice Cap. They will service the climate station erected on Barnes Ice Cap in 1990. Amadjuak Lake and the NW margin of the Barnes ice cap will also be visited to service automatic stations installed there in previous years....

Ice-rock-water interactions on southwestern Bylot Island
Principal Investigator: Hicock, Stephen R.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will involve the study of the interplay (past and present) between glaciers, permafrost, meltwater and seawater on the southwestern side of the Bylot Island ice cap....

Ice Cap Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Weber, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: In 1962 a long-term project to monitor the elevation change of the Penny Ice Cap, Baffin Island was initiated. The growth or shrinkage of an ice cap is an indicator of climate change. Change in elevation is measured by the change of the force of gravity at a particular point on the top of the ice cap. As the ice cap grows the force of gravity decreases because gravity decreases with altitude. Grav...
